Thanks, Paul.
This news coudn’t come at a more opportune time, as I’ve recently recommitted myself to relying on MacJournal as my main writing app. It’s not where I’d try to write a novel or long-form work (although you certainly could), but it is perfect for reflection and personal notes. The amount of built-in meta data options, including due dates, makes MJ suitable for lightweight task and project management.
I have downloaded the beta version, though I am not moving any work to it at this point. Just playing around with it and checking it out (I’ve found a couple of small bugs).

As I recall, there is no syncing of MacJournal as of yet. Does anyone know if the data file can be run from iCloud (as long as two machines are not trying to access it simultaneously)?

Oddly, the Help documentation for MacJournal 6 has a chapter on “Exporting and Syncing” with no mention at all about syncing in it. There also is no mention of iCloud in the Help documentation, if the search results are to be believed. Sorry to be unable to help.

I found this information on the Mariner website:
Begin quote:
Several services exist on the Internet that make it possible to share/sync data between two computers. The only sync service that MacJournal supports at this time is Dropbox, although we will be adding support for iCloud in an upcoming release.
Dropbox is a free service that, with a client program developed by the service provider, makes it possible to sync data between two computers that are running the client program.
To share your MacJournal data among different Macs using Dropbox, simply install Dropbox on each of your Macs. Make sure that you are logged into the same Dropbox account on each computer. From one of your Macs, move your MacJournal data file into the Dropbox folder. Make note of the Dropbox syncing status, and once Dropbox reports that syncing is complete, you can open that document from other Macs logged into the same Dropbox account.
MacJournal also supports sharing data among Macs and iOS devices via Dropbox. See this knowledge base article for instructions on how to transition from manual wifi syncing to storing your data in the cloud.
Note that we strongly recommend that you do not have the same data file open on more than one computer at a time. When you are done using MacJournal on one computer, make sure to close the file, and allow sufficient time for changes to sync to Dropbox, before opening that file from another computer.
Dropbox is a 3rd party service, and not a service managed by Mariner Software. Because of this, we can’t predict changes in Dropbox that could affect MacJournal data sharing, and can’t guarantee that MacJournal data sharing will always work with Dropbox. That being said, we have a number of users who have been using Dropbox for MacJournal data sharing for a while, and who report using it with no problems at all.
When sharing a file on more than one computer or device via, it is important to use good practices and be aware of sync conflicts. Always make sure that changes made to your MacJournal data in one location are synced to Dropbox before viewing and editing that data on another computer.
